So has anyone noticed that in order to use the new Siri option the Entertainment portion switches to Bluetooth? When I first activate Siri it does this then I have to hold the talk button again to get back to Siri to be able to use it. I am assuming this is normal but wondered if anyone else is having a different experience? It is a bit annoying but works much better than Sync's voice recognition for phone numbers.

I really like how this works. To send a text is so nice to not have to touch the phone at all. Yes you do need to hold down the voice button on the steering wheel for 3 seconds to get siri to activate.

There does not appear to be an equivalent option for Android with this update.

There are several but seems like Ford didn't bother.

Ran into the same issue listed at https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7379593 with the radio going to the BT device and not the source I was on after using Siri. The work around listed corrected my issue and the one I listed yesterday.

cant get update to work

I have tried over and over and cant get the update to work.
I have a 16gb thumb drive formatted to fat 32 with the downloaded files on it. Its supposed to start automatically but gives instructions if it doesn't.
I cant get past this point in the instructions:
Prompts display. Press Seek until Install Applications is highlighted. Press OK.
It says not available.
Any help?

OK never mind I finally got it.
I cant seem to delete a post though.
